Family statute

A well-defined and unambiguous family statute enables business families to discuss and solve potential issues or dilemmas requiring well thought and balanced decisions of the family. The purpose of a family statute nowadays is to provide a guideline and base for defining, updating or solving strategic, governance related family, family capital and/or business issues. A fit for future, balanced yet practical family statute is the tangible result of an in-depth discussion between relevant family stakeholders addressing vision, mission, values, principles, strategy the family considers as important to pursue. But also about ownership and control, follow-up and transfer and, for example, how to deal with the interests of third parties or conflicts.
